Influence of bone adaptation on tendon-to-bone healing in bone tunnel after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in a rabbit model.

30 Oct 2009 Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with placement of grafted tendon in bone tunnel is a common surgical procedure. Bone tunnel creation may result in stress shielding of postero-lateral regions of tibial tunnel. The present study was ... Read more...

Histological and molecular analysis of the biceps tendon long head post-tenotomy.

29 Sep 2009 Tendinopathy is a vexing clinical problem as its onset and development is often asymptomatic and unrecognized until tendon rupture. While extensively studied in the rotator cuff, Achilles, and patellar tendons, no study to date has examined the ... Read more...

Tendon re-attachment to metal prostheses in an in vivo animal model using demineralised bone matrix.

30 Aug 2009 We used demineralised bone matrix (DBM) to augment re-attachment of tendon to a metal prosthesis in an in vivo ovine model of reconstruction of the extensor mechanism at the knee. We hypothesised that augmentation of the tendon-implant interface ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Tendons'

Definition: Fibrous bands or cords of CONNECTIVE TISSUE at the ends of SKELETAL MUSCLE FIBERS that serve to attach the MUSCLES to bones and other structures.

Descriptor UI: D013710

Alternative terms: Tendons; Tendon; Tendons, Para-Articular; Para-Articular Tendon; Para-Articular Tendons; Tendon, Para-Articular; Tendons, Para Articular; Tendons, Paraarticular; Paraarticular Tendon; Paraarticular Tendons; Tendon, Paraarticular;

Allowable Qualifiers: abnormalities; anatomy & histology; blood supply; cytology; drug effects; embryology; enzymology; growth & development; immunology; innervation; metabolism; microbiology; parasitology; pathology; physiology; physiopathology; radiation effects; radiography; radionuclide imaging; secretion; surgery; transplantation; ultrastructure; ultrasonography; chemistry; virology;

Tree Number: A02.880;

History Note: 1963; /transplantation was TENDON TRANSPLANTATION 1963-65

Technical Notes: tendon rupture = TENDON INJURIES (IM) + RUPTURE (NIM); /surg: consider TENDON TRANSFER; /transpl permitted: do not confuse with TENDON TRANSFER; for specifically located tendons coordinate IM with general area of tendon, not a bone term, as metacarpal tendon: TENDONS (IM) + HAND or FINGERS (IM), not METACARPUS; "false tendons" of heart = PURKINJE FIBERS; PATELLAR TENDON is also available
